WBOC has learned the Trump Administration on Thursday filed a motion to stay an ongoing lawsuit against them and offshore energy company US Wind, arguing the current government shutdown has limited their attorneys’ ability to respond to the suit.
The Trump Administration has officially submitted a legal request to vacate the previous Biden Administration’s approval of a federal permit for the construction and operation of US Wind’s proposed wind farm off Delmarva’s shores.
Delaware and Maryland have joined multiple Democratic-led states in a lawsuit to challenge President Donald Trump’s pause on offshore wind development.
President Donald Trump has begun his second term with a slew of executive orders including one pertaining to offshore wind, a topic mired in ongoing debate here on Delmarva.
President-Elect Donald Trump has tasked a New Jersey congressman with drafting an executive order that could temporarily stop offshore wind projects from Rhode Island to Virginia, the Associated Press reports.
